Presenting Data in Ways that Work for Most People, Most of the Time (HLOL #113)

Sally Bigwood lives in the United Kingdom and has worked in a number of fields including publishing, sales, government, and the UK’s National Health Service. These fields all need to communicate data in ways that everyday folks can understand. To help, Sally Bigwood along with her sister Melissa Spore, founded Plain Figures and co-authored the book, A Designers Guide to Presenting Numbers, Figures, and Charts.

In this podcast, Sally Bigwood talks with Helen Osborne about:

Presenting data as simply and clearly as possible.

Putting figures into a logical order.

Keeping comparisons close.

Rounding figures so they are easier to understand, compare, and recall.
